Anastasia Dazed & Currant Liquid Lipsticks Reviews, Photos, Swatches
Dazed
Anastasia Dazed Liquid Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.11 fl. oz.) is a muted, medium-dark red with warm, brown undertones and a matte finish. It was intensely pigmented and yielded opaque coverage in a single layer. The consistency was smooth, thin but not watery, and easy to spread across the lips for even application. It dried down to a totally matte, transfer-proof finish quickly but not so quickly that you had to work fast to apply it. The liquid lipstick wore nicely for almost eight hours and started to feel drying after five hours of wear.
The Liquid Lipstick is supposed to be an “ultra-saturated” formula that gives opaque coverage in “one swipe” that “stays put for hours.” I think the formula has improved over time, as some of the initial shades I tried were more problematic, but a lot of the newer shades have applied more evenly, been more opaque, and haven’t been quite as drying. The majority of shades are semi-opaque to opaque in a single layer, dry down evenly, and stay on for at least six hours, if not well beyond eight hours. I personally find most shades to be lightly to moderately drying over time.

Currant
Anastasia Currant Liquid Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.11 fl. oz.) is a muted, medium-dark red with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had rich, opaque pigmentation that applied beautifully to the lips with even, smooth coverage. The liquid lipstick felt smooth, thin enough not to feel heavy or pool on the lips, but thick enough that it spread without sheering out or becoming streaky. The formula felt drying after six hours of wear, though the color was still going strong after eight hours of wear.

Dazed looks like something I would definitely wear in cooler months! It has just the right amount of warmth and depth to it to look like a very rich shade.
Would be a great fall shade!
I’m really loving these two colors.
Me too!
Nice color and nice formula!
They went on nicely!
These two are my kind of colours!!! Oh boy!
I love that currant doesn’t look super powdery!!
They are nice shades!
Idk. Love both colors, but find the formula difficult, so dry it eats the prebalm and finicky for app. Both kvd and cp are way easier. Looks great on you, though. Dazed is less duped, so I’ll try it and wear it away to see. My life is pretty red saturated, so no big need.
KVD’s formula is still preferable to this one for me, but the more recent ones are a lot kinder than the original ones I tried!
Currant looks very pretty but I can’t do drying anymore. About as drying as I can stand is the NARS pencils.
I can understand that, Erin! I don’t think you should have to!
I really like both, but Dazed is my absolute favourite of the two. It’s on my wish list. I think I have to go through the list and make som prioritizing 🙂
Dazed is gorgeous!
